Club América made the trip to Estadio Olimpico Benito Juarez count, edging out FC Juárez 1-2 on Saturday, 22 August 2026 in a Liga MX clash that was tighter than the final numbers suggest for long spells. Juárez actually led at one stage and went into the break level at 1-1, giving the home crowd something to cheer, but América's greater control up front eventually told. América ended up with more of the ball and a heavy edge in shots on target, and that pressure finally paid off in the second half. Henry Martín was the difference-maker, picking up the man of the match award with an 8/10 rating after a constant threat all afternoon. Juárez will feel they had their moments, especially before half-time, but couldn't match América's quality in the final third over the full 90. For América, it's another away win in the bag and a confidence boost heading into their next assignment, while Juárez head back to the drawing board after a result that will sting more the longer they think about it.
